National Museums Scotland approached Field and Lawn's Edinburgh team for a solution to a unique challenge they had. The current aircraft hangers at East Fortune's National Museum of Flight were needing urgent refurbishment meaning a storage requirement for the planes currently within them.

Due to growth in 2014, we are looking for Crew Chiefs / Site Managers to join us at this exciting time. We are looking for candidates to operate out of our Bristol and Essex bases covering all regions South of Birmingham. Candidates need to be capable of motivating and running large site crews, liaising with clients, delivering to deadlines and ensuring strict adherence to health and safety. It is tough but rewarding work.

At Field and Lawn Marquees we take health and safety seriously and in order to keep up our high standards crew training is now underway. We are always looking for experienced marquee riggers, junior and senior foremen and with our training running right through until the end of April, now would be a good time to get on board.

Field and Lawn's Bristol branch provided a large clearspan structure complete with clear PVC to the England Cricket training camp. Prior to the team’s tour to Sri Lanka at the end of 2014, the large structure complete with a bespoke guttering system was built spanning three grass wickets. The dry wickets in combination with the natural light levels achieved through the clear PVC fitted to the roof and walls and the industrial heating units provided the team with perfect training conditions.
